Mazda Savanna RX-7 1/24

Tamiya 24016 - Mazda Savanna RX-7

Tamiya 24016 Mazda Savanna RX-7 is a classic and well-engineered plastic model kit in 1/24 scale, depicting Mazda’s iconic late-1970s sports car. This kit represents the first-generation RX-7, renowned for its lightweight design, low stance, and legendary rotary Wankel engine. The model features an accurately shaped body, detailed interior, separate chassis, and realistic suspension, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced car modelers. Once completed, the model measures approximately 18 cm (7.1 inches) in length, around 7.5 cm (3 inches) in width, and about 5 cm (2 inches) in height, giving it a sporty and well-proportioned appearance in 1/24 scale.

For painting, several period-correct color schemes work very well. The body can be finished in classic white using Vallejo Model Air 71001 White, sporty red with 71003 Red, or a subtle metallic look using 71056 Aluminium combined with clear coat. Bumpers, trim, and mirrors can be highlighted with 70863 Gunmetal Grey, while wheels are best painted with 71062 Aluminium. The interior looks realistic with seats and panels in 70950 Black, the dashboard in 70862 Black Grey, and details such as the steering wheel and gear lever in 70951 White or 70864 Natural Steel. Tires and rubber parts are painted with 70950 Black, and subtle shading in panel lines can be added using Vallejo Model Wash Dark Grey for extra depth.

As a true icon among Japanese sports cars, the Mazda Savanna RX-7 makes this Tamiya plastic model kit a must-have for fans of classic JDM design and high-quality automotive models.
